Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry has announced a new solo album. Quiet River of Dust Vol. 1 is out September 21. It’s his first release on ANTI-. Parry has shared the first two songs from the record, “Sai No Kawara (River of Death)” and “On the Ground.” They debut with a mystical animated video, directed by Parry and Caleb Wood. Watch the clip, and find the album artwork, below.

Quiet River of Dust Vol. 1 follows Richard Reed Parry’s 2014 project Music for Heart and Breath. A second collection, Quiet River of Dust Vol. 2, is slated to come out on the 2019 spring equinox. Quiet River of Dust was inspired by a recent trip to Japan, Buddhist myths, death poems, and British folk songs, according to a press release.

“The song ‘On the Ground’ was inspired by an encounter with ghost voices in a Japanese forest near a temple on the sacred mountain Koya-Sān,” Parry explained in a statement. “I told director Caleb Wood the story—of being alone in this magical environment of giant cedar trees and hearing a loud chorus of powerful harmony singing that sounded inexplicably identical to my late father’s folk band the Friends of Fiddler’s Green, who were the soundtrack to my entire childhood and upbringing.”
